    it'll happen, but this is a disgusting performance and in all honesty a dreadful side.. there's 7 or 8 that should be nowhere near this league.

    nowt new I'm used to it now

    Yet only last week you were apologising for previously calling Bruce out, after an opening day win at the Spammers........

    Football mate, you’ve had a bad day at the office and a reality check, that’s all.

    Ooft. That one must have hurt.

    Not a red for me. Certainly not a clear and obvious error.

    Ffs. What a tragic weekend of VAR decisions we've had.

    No intent and a bollocks red card that imo.

    at least the ref made the decision by viewing the pitch side monitor .

    In fairness you should be blaming the rule changes not VAR

    I don't like that personally. Think if they're told to take another look then they're already leaning towards looking for something to change their mind.

    I think if it's clear and obvious then it shouldn't need another look, because it's obvious. Plus it's more time consuming.

    Maybe that's just me though.

    Even taking the rule change into account that pen we got today wasn't a 'clear and obvious' error.

    We're officially at the stage of re-refereeing the game imo.

    obviously the correct answer is scrap VAR but unfortunately that horse has bolted .

    Always liked you Solid <whistle>


    Still think a 30 second time limit would improve things measurably.

    Under the rules it was though, as we’re now seeing in the PL what we’ve seen for a couple of years in European competition i.e. if the defender has his arm out and it hits it, a penalty is awarded. See the Spurs vs RS CL final for details. ****e rule but blame the rule.
